We picked Kelly up at 7:30, from her dorm.
She made a lot of friends, learned a lot, and had a great time!
Then, we hightailed it out of there, so we could get to our next destination before too late.
We were planning to have an 8 hour drive, which is more than all our previous days which averaged around 4-6 hours.
We got a few hours in, figured we were doing good, and thought why not go a few hours further?
Then, a few hours later, same thing.
Pretty soon, we realized we could get home that day!
It was an 11-12 hour drive, but we did it!
Our house had a flood in the basement since the night before and the local plumbers wouldn't return our calls while we were out of town.
So, Andy wanted to get home as soon as we could, to see the extent of the flooding.
This day's pictures are mainly rest stops...
I posted this one twice, because I forgot to take a picture at the one we went to before it.
MONTANA
IDAHO
WASHINGTON
We found a lot of state license plates, but not all.
This page was pretty ratty by the time we got home.
All the stuff our kids had crammed into the car while they sat in it...
car top carrier and Kelly's suitcase from camp
HOME!!!!!
We stopped at the grocery store on the way back into town, to pick up a few basics.
It was soooo nice to buy groceries without buying potato chips and candy!
We ate junk every day of our trip to keep us awake while driving.
When we left on our trip, we left our bread in the drawer, thinking that our friends who were housesitting for us would just eat it.
They didn't.
We returned home 4 WEEKS LATER to NO MOLD on that bread.
*The white spot on that one piece is not mold, just a lump of flour or something.*
We aren't buying it any more.
And here I thought I was buying healthier bread!
